Then, Kent noticed a young woman accompanying Goodwin.

“Why is she here?" he muttered, recognizing the woman as Maria when she turned slightly, revealing her profile.

Kent's brow furrowed with concern. Maria's presence didn't sit well with him.

"Could she be here for some medical treatment?" he pondered.

Maria was one of the few who had undergone Ancient Martial Arts Organ Transplant Methods twice. The operation could have long-term side effects on her.

In terms of treating diseases, the Pill Alchemist Association couldn't be compared with the Association of Healthcare Professionals.

It was plausible Maria was seeking treatment.

Yet, Kent had another worry. He suspected Maria might be investigating the details of her previous operations.

"She is indeed a problem, but Octavian could handle this," Kent thought, feeling a bit relieved.

Kent decided not to let Maria's unexpected appearance distract him too much. Despite the temporary closure of the airport, he knew it would only be for a few hours, perhaps a couple of days at most. It wouldn't remain shut indefinitely. The professionals tasked with finishing Anthony and Maria would commence their work soon after they entered the country.

Kent sighed softly, feeling a sense of pity. It was undeniable that Maria was exceptionally talented, and he had developed a certain fondness for her.

Yet, their paths were markedly different. With them standing on opposing sides, all he could do was watch from afar as someone as gifted and vibrant as Maria potentially faced challenges and setbacks.

In the main office building of the Association of Healthcare Professionals.

Maria stood expressionless next to Goodwin. Near them were some core leaders of the Association of Healthcare Professionals.

“Miss Jenkins... Are... Are you telling the truth?" a white-haired senior man standing at the front asked stutteringly. His incredulous gaze was fixed on the reports Maria had just handed over.

He was the senior leader of the Association of Healthcare Professionals, and he was to retire soon. The most popular candidate for his succession was Kent.

However, in the reports Maria had just provided, Kent's name was mentioned.

After flipping through the reports, the white-haired senior man was completely shocked. He glanced at Goodwin for confirmation, who shrugged and said casually, “Arturo, don't look at me like that. I didn't collect any information in the reports."

Hearing what Goodwin said, Arturo Green sighed heavily.

Arturo knew Goodwin was telling the truth. Although Goodwin was highly respected in the Pill Alchemist Association, he was a retired man now. Goodwin couldn't have gathered this much information for the reports.

Moreover, this report was from the famous hacker organization, Heaven.

Heaven was engaged in the network security of the entire country, and they had never failed in their commitments. The information provided by Heaven was therefore always credible.

There was something else that intrigued Arturo.

Arturo shifted his gaze to Maria and looked at her with a complicated expression.
